Pakistanis Are Thanking Major Adnan Sami For Hacking Amitabh Bachchan's Twitter Account

Share:

The incident occurred shortly after Amitabh Bachchan's profile photo was changed to Prime Minister Imran Khan in a cyber attack that took place on Monday night. Amitabh Bachchan has over 37.4 million followers on Twitter, overtaken only recently by Shah Rukh Khan to 38.3 million.

Several tweets were posted from the Big-B's account by Ayyildiz Tim including anti-India posts.

Abhishek Bachchan's social media account has also been attacked by the same hacker. "Love Pakistan" with the flag of Turkey. Also, there were different tweets posted about Pakistan tagging the Pakistan premier along with his photo, saying "Love Pakistan".

ANI reports that the Mumbai Police has initiated a probe into the hacking.

Although it is unclear how the hackers got access to Mr. Bachchan's account, it is possible that his email and password may have leaked online in previous data breaches.

The hackers are continuously posting tweets, condemning the actions of the Icelandic republic towards Turkish footballers. However, the Mumbai police are taking the cyber attack very seriously and are said to have informed their cyber unit and Maharashtra Cyber to further look into the issue.

"We speak softly but carry a big stick and inform you about the big Cyber attack here", the pinned tweet said and was signed off by the "Ayyildiz Tim Turkish Cyber Armny". Netizens, though, couldn't care less about the hacking and had fun creating memes on the same.

Adnan is a singer from Pakistan who was granted Indian citizenship in 2016.
